Large conference rooms, typically ranging from 30 to 50 square meters and accommodating around 20 people, are ideal for board meetings. However, despite their size and versatility, these spacious environments often present significant challenges, particularly in ensuring that everyone can hear and be heard clearly during meetings. This is where the Nuroum V403 and two A15 Speakerphones come into play, effectively addressing the issues of unclear audio and obscured faces caused by the dispersed seating and large space. In the following section, I will detail the common challenges in large conference rooms and how the V403 and two A15 Speakerphones can resolve these issues.

How the V403 Camera and A15 Speakerphones Solve Issues in Large Rooms

Audio issues in large conference rooms

In a large, empty meeting room, sound may bounce off the walls and create echoes or reverberation, and traditional microphones may not be able to effectively reduce these noises. Traditional microphones have limited coverage and cannot pick up sounds from all areas of a large room, making it difficult for participants sitting far from the microphone to be heard clearly. In addition, a single microphone may cause the sound to be picked up unevenly, resulting in unclear sound in some areas.

Solutions

Nuroum A15 conference speakerphone is built with 4 professional-level microphones that capture clearly all voices at a 360-degree angle. By connecting multiple A15 speakerphones in a daisy chain, it ensures that sound is clear and consistent throughout the entire large room(up to 20 or more attendees), regardless of where participants are seated. It helps distribute sound evenly, reducing the likelihood of echoes and noises. Full duplex audio processing technology allows multiple people to talk at the same time without missing a word.

Video Issues in large conference rooms

Standard webcams often have a narrow field of view, making it difficult to capture all participants in a large room. They also often lack zoom or use digital zoom, which often results in low-resolution or blurry images. In large rooms, speakers may move around, and traditional cameras cannot adjust to follow the speaker, making it difficult to quickly identify who is speaking, slowing down the meeting process.

Solutions

The V403's 5x optical zoom allows the camera to zoom in on specific areas or participants without losing resolution, ensuring that even people sitting far away can be clearly seen. PTZ technology enables the camera to pan ±175°, tilt ±30°, covering the whole meeting room, and can automatically focus on the speaker. When the video is deactivated on UC software, the camera lens will automatically swivel from the original position to the rear reassuring enterprise security. It is possible to set 4 preset positions and quickly switch between different preset positions via the remote control.

Multiple devices and cables in large conference rooms

Due to large space and large number of people, traditional large conference rooms are usually equipped with many devices, such as multiple cameras and microphones, whiteboards, etc. This will lead to messy cables and the risk of connection errors. Tangled cables also pose security risks and make the room more difficult to organize and maintain. When multiple devices of different brands are connected separately, their performance may be inconsistent and they may not work well together, resulting in problems such as audio lag, poor video quality or synchronization issues.

Solutions

Nuroum's V403 webcam and two A15 speakerphones can solve these problems. Two A15 speakers can be connected in a daisy-chain configuration using Nuroum's proprietary cable, requiring only one connection for pairing, without the need to connect two speakerphones separately. The V403 webcam works seamlessly with the A15 speakers, ensuring consistent performance of both video and audio.
